We were having to take the story out upstairs, but now they have enough base their world or they're. Gonna. Have that also with a new family places? Some huh we need it.

C

That's the next step we're going to contact somebody to give it we'd like to yes.

F

Exactly that's.

C

What they they specialize in, it's kind of like a rap, but they can put on the walls so we're going to get some some quotes.

D

C

The vendor or the representatives named David Martinez.

F

Well, if he's off.

Economy companies working with LSD delivers with.

C

Neuter everything.

D

There's a virtualization is a library furniture. We got all different art furniture from.

C

D

There now they're doing USD as well I heard.

C

Yeah he told me that so he approached me in case I need more furniture, go, not any furniture, but they don't have the signage. Yes, so I envisioned something big, because.

B

C

That one was, it was right there, it was made with paper and I. Don't know, are you talking about the one at Moss the this one was just made by staff with butcher paper.

D

C

Area in the back was not really getting used as a reference in the when it was reference to mouth. She's gonna have the programs there.

D

Because anything, any computers in there there.

C

A

We have spatial that we're gonna be checking out laptops of them as soon as we go.

C

And great testing move to that area. We have an additional staff used.

A

C

A

F

A

C

We have about 15 in children's, and then we have a computer lab upstairs, not the one that we had dear husband, who does with the teen area.

B

For the internet, maybe.

C

Because we have free, Wi-Fi, yeah.

A

Yeah you'll see them on their phones, but you know reading graphic novels or picking up. You know.

A

C

Naboo staff currently are heading. The tap program is rape and Lauren who's also going to be a library, hopefully.

D

C

You check out devices as well.

D

C

F

A

A

Play games like something they.

E

Have not stopped.

A

To bring your tablet so.

E

To them to Wi-Fi.

A

For more viable than have Computers to say that, because.

D

They do some work.

D

F

C

F

C

Had a little area upstairs, but now they can have their tab means there. Any kind of programming we're talking about having constant programs well.

D

I'm sure by next month, we'll see a better version of engine.

C

Well, maybe not my next month we're at the end of our budget. If we're coming to purchase anything, it's gonna have to be. Will.

B

We see the same I can.

C

Bring it to you, I'm having he sent me some samples which look really nice bright, colorful big, but.

D

And also the cost.

C

Also, our Safety Committee representative Rick was gonna. You had asked for the video on the active shooter that he used to train the staff when we have one of our safety Me's, he has it queued up. Okay,.

B

If you want to Jack that active shooter training, yeah.

C

It was right after we came back from Chile because we had just seen.

D

It yeah video or national, no.

C

D

C

Was one that was provided by the Texas Library Association? It was available on a webinar and there were several of us that attended the the actual training can.

B

We do something to maybe maybe invite the law enforcement to do a dream.

F

Oh, my god, you can.

D

B

And now is it good to do because I went through one? In the other hand, it's it it's good, because you get to hear gun blast unless you were used to shooting inside of a building is much longer than outside.

D

B

Right, you hear that and the dragging of bodies and when have you guys that really you.

F

C

What do you do you.

B

Know what are you doing that? That's what you would ask for some? Where am I gonna go? Where am I safety protocols? Are all my doors lock? Are we using slides or what we do eat.

C

But other buildings are that different layout yeah.

B

C

Here might not work right.

B

But at least if it wanted it brings attention to when you go to the other buildings, what to look- and that's what's important so because.

F

I know what I went through when I came back to my.

B

Campus and said get to different layout. Okay, we got to start doing this.

G

It may be like.

F

Just another day of the ants.

G

But occasionally life feels more like an action movie than reality.

G

The authorities are working hard to protect you and to protect our public spaces.

G

But sometimes bad people do bad things.

G

Their motivations are different.

G

The warning signs made there but then devastating effect inside a safe.

G

And unfortunately, you need to be prepared for the worst.

G

If you were ever to find yourself in the middle of an active shooter event, your survival may depend on whether or not you have a plan. The plan doesn't have to be gone. The game.

G

There are three things you could do that make a difference, run I.

G

First and foremost, if you can get out, do always try to escape or evacuate, even when others insist on saying, encourage others to be with me, but don't let them slow you down with indecision.

G

Remember, what's important, you not yourself, leave your belongings behind I try to find a way to get out safely.

G

Trying to get yourself out of harm's way needs to be your number one priority.

F

G

You're out of the line fire trying to prevent others from walking into the danger zone, then call 9-1-1.

F

G

You can't get out safely, you need to find a place to hide.

G

As quickly and what Radhika skewer your hiding place, the best you can turn off lights and they possibly remember the lock.

F

G

Jarir and vibration, one on your son.

G

And if you can't find the safe room or clients body, concealing yourself behind large objects that may protect, do you necessarily flying home.

G

The last resort did your life is at risk, whether you're alone or working together as a group fight with aggression, improvised weapons, disarmed he's a missionary down.

G

By the aware of their environment, always have an exit plan know that in an incident like this victims,.

A

Are generally chosen.

G

Randomly the event is unpredictable and may evolve quickly.

G

F

A

G

On the scene are not there to evacuate or attend to the injured, they're well trained, and are there to stop the shooter.

G

Your actions can make a difference for.

C

Your safety and.

G

Survival be aware and we prevail, and then you find yourself facing an active shooter. There are three key things you need to remember to survive, run, high fight.

F

B

A

The city job required.

B

A

I mean there's no more information, Rio.

B

Young from the crater evening.

C

Text or text italic.

C

B

Because everything I know that's part of our safety protocol, now that everybody we've always had it, but you'll get nice and wearing.

C

F

Part of our day when.

A

B

Visit other libraries, that's one of the things I guess on the checklist is like. Is that putting wearing a name tag because you wouldn't be able to identify an active shooter that you know in other ways he's not part of the crowd and.

F

You can't grab somebody else, I.

B

Think that has a picture ID.

F

B

Other thing is like I.

F

B

You got other kind of doors like we have like. You'll have slides on the are all the doors already locked. Those.

F

Magnetic slides, because.

B

That's what happened in partner? No I'm, not parking on the department, one of the other ones, that one of the areas was that the teacher went out. Most of the doors are our campus locked from the outside and in safety at that school she stepped outside to lock the.

F

Door and got shot because she had to go outside to lock it. That's the purpose.

B

Of the magnetic slides over there, the door so that.

D

F

Already locked, you just was like, and it's locked you.

B

Don't have to step outside into the shooters line-of-sight just little things like that, you know it's. We.

C

Can lock them from the inside, but there's some that do not lock that's the way that the yeah are you emergency ones or push.

A

Bar the outside, or out from the inside most of these doors do have a wicking mechanism.

F

B

E

B

Just little things I know they're just saying that they made us do it our campus. Is that maybe you can maybe there should be some coordination between you know all facilities, public facilities.

C

Voted for a $75,000 study of City, Hall and thinking once they do that one they'll start applying it to the rest of the city go, but they just like the last city, councilman.

B

Because week one Tiger Texas there at a foiled attempt already.

F

You heard about those three three.

B

Three: three boys: you get Islip Tiger Jason, we're.

F

Planning to now is week, one so right.

B

Away make sure we're doing we're good I set my office here, go check, all the doors make sure they're locked. They should all be locked up little things like that, especially because this is a place for kids and teens and stuff coming.

B

E

Because we'll all be receiving an email from the console, I'll go to Mexico, inviting you to a special event on September 5th that tell me you I, think it's at 6:00 or 6:30 a month much forever. But it's about the it's an art and history of nevada-reno, dr. sandy green, will be giving the conference.

E

But the reason you were being invited is because the libraries from NOLA arrow who wanted the librarian, who is the counterpart with you he's been here before I, propose we'll be presenting some books to the library that the official story, history in the city of know very well written by dr. Andrea, very, very well most of your data, and they wanted to come today.

E

E

Going to be an.

E

E

E

So dr. Greene you're, not yeah, it will be doing and because it's a Mexican cut and we're studying the fiestas sentence that will bring us. You know the next with that, so everything will be in Spanish, but we're all by people. Okay, yes, and it's finally going of course it's our time.

B

B

The staff report and.

C

In your packet is the new and revised checklist. I will be using this from now on for each letter.

C

And making the comments on the side instead of presenting you, the library branch business report, so this is the one that could I'm going to be a Belkin. Now, when I visit, the branch.

F

D

I'm sorry, the date that you went to the French up.

C

There at the club.

D

The day, oh, that's a sample right. Obviously you didn't vote. I did.

C

This morning, or you went through today, I admitted at 3:00 this morning and to the previous day so.

D

It throughout the whole month. This is the only way like at the end of the monitor.

C

D

C

I try to go right before the mean, so we can get the most updated.

D

F

D

At any other time other than these three times throughout the month.

D

The point like just going to these three times because you're gonna do the report, but like even just I,.

C

Have something scheduled my schedule is very packed, sometimes like this this week, I've had meetings now in charge of the fine arts and culture committee, so now being involved without anything to do with the arts that the city has I'm having to go to those meetings too, but I have I get updates. If something goes wrong, they call us right away. I meet once a week with my libraries to find.

D

C

D

Come over here, do you all never meet at the different library, usually.

C

Not because the the head librarians are, most of them are here.

D

C

D

Be nice to have the meeting soon also it's.

C

Kind of hard for to get everybody in one place, it's easier for me to visit some of the branches, have a staff of two. You know two and a half. Maybe so it's easier for me to go.

D

What's going on at the different.

C

It's faculty and that's the issue so.

D

E

C

You can get the other libraries to come over here. That would mean that they need one person over there.

D

D

C

I mean invasion to do if they I'm talking about your meet the meetings. No.

D

They come here, so they still need a person.

C

Well, the the person that's in charge of the ratchet is a month at 10:00.

D

They're not seeing people that's in charge, one person still stays behind. So what I'm saying like skittles a means at different branches? Not always here at this main branch. You wouldn't think so that everybody can get an opportunity see which point on that. The different branch I don't know just okay.

C

So that more said, there'll be more.

D

You know visibility out there and opportunities.

D

B

Might you might even help with some of the other issues that you have that you that you see when you, when you go only because we know everyone's coming to your place, you get your place in order.

B

And that would even say because, like you go at the end of the month, but then if there's another meeting, that's gonna occur, that's gonna circulate.

F

In about a year, you can set a schedule, and that way my cabinet and the.

C

Other issue: well, maybe I Stevie, doesn't have a place to meet Bruni. Sometimes there's.

F

C

Place to really have a meeting.

F

C

There's no meeting place, I mean we'd have to meet probably out in the open.

B

D

Many people are we talking about that community meeting.

C

We have my technical services librarian on Aneesa, public services, Jackie and, of course, and she's always there to take notes in so.

F

C

There's people that are in charge of other librarians and they bring the information.

D

So you don't mean with your librarians at once a week once.

C

A week no I meet with my managers. Librarians. Maybe you want someone and that's to discuss programming, scheduling.

C

And most of the libraries.

D

Are here so for people there's a people that you meet with on bases.

C

About usually Thursday afternoons, sometimes it's not possible. We may skip a week but, like I said I'm in constant contact with them, they have my cell phone. They send me emails whatever something needs to be fixed or something else, and they almost coffee, Angie.

D

Noticed it was practice to be out there, like you know, I used to tell Bob Nelson, you know, and he does that I'm sure.

F

D

Gonna go: do my n bwa.

D

So and there's another quote: I remember who it was: the king only knows what he is told. You only know what you are told, but when you're out there you get to see everything and I thought that was very interesting. They came only knows what he is told, but unless the King is out there and fifteen- and you know seeing things, then you get to see.

D

Wow I didn't know that we're I felt like today the king in waiting out there looking and we now know what we see, because we hadn't been told you know, and it's like in a bad way, but mistake so it's like they came on. He knows when he's told otherwise he's out there, knowing what's going on.

B

We like, for example, we would come to some of the like the guest authors or something it's like well, we know what's wrong with the mic, because we were there. You know we saw the.

D

B

Ourselves, and so we can come here and and let.

D

You know about.

A

B

Hopefully, that avoid.

F

B

For the next time- and yes that we do, we do that and we've had an experience.

F

E

B

Little things like that, so there might be I, know.

F

That it itself.

A

B

May be an issue, but if there's a creative way to perhaps.

F

C

Know conference.

F

C

Especially when we started getting the other right, yeah.

B

Because I think I think that's and that's just something that is prevalent. It's not just a distant part but sit a lot of departments, because really people are relying on women. At least those in management phone calls that they're getting from maybe the public. But until you get out there you see it. Do you get to appreciate the problem or the issue and once.

F

You're there, like oh.

B

Now I understand and that kind of of thing happens all the time so I don't.

A

F

It's so I'm thinking that this is a good first step.

B

That we took where you use a month and check this and you're, seeing things firsthand and I think that that is for me, I know what I do it's an eye opening squared okay I've seen this this this now now I see it's this transition area right here and you're able to troubleshoot it on the spot, but.

F

If you never go out there, whether that's.

B

That's that's what the issues really creep up and sneak up. Women can become even a small one, a much larger, very good.

D

F

This some way that maybe maybe.

B

Some of those, because it's just four of you or five of you, as you said where your managers.

C

F

C

B

Because when you, when.

F

You talk about programming, you must also talk about logistic.

B

Support program and.

A

Like you do not agree, as you.

B

Said yourself facility.

A

Is the same so.

B

When you make make these programs, you got to think a while housing to be most effective, considering the logistics at the brooding branch or this branch, because.

F

It's going to be different in each one, that.

C

Will change works.

B

C

Doesn't work in the South Branch correct.

B

But there's also sometimes.

F

B

This is what we get through through our I guess. You call walking you order of the campuses and it works awesome. They with a colleague principles like okay. Well, that's how you do.

A

B

F

I'm gonna steal your idea, because I can see that it can.

B

Work over here go.

F

That, like you, said.

B

And I'm working over here, but you get these, get to see it and I.

F

Don't know it might be something of.

B

Initiative something that maybe- and it helps to develop consistency everywhere, dad.

F

I know for sure, because.

B

If I don't miss it to class to class, if I take this class at 9:30 and at 9:30 father goes in there class is not teaching the same thing. Something's up and.

F

That's when you start.

B

Getting consistencies so.

F

Anyway, is something that considered.

B

F

Will beginning, unlike is now saw.

B

That you had the safety on.

C

B

C

The fire inspection- usually they show up but I'm, going to try and just try to see if we can schedule the different branches. Some of them have already been done, maybe to a little every, including us, but we can go ahead and schedule that.

B

And I, nice and I feel that in the future this column of safety years, this little area is gonna, grow much longer because you're gonna have to look so looking at doors, exits.

C

Everywhere you mister.

B

C

B

All of these things are going to have to be considered security that dude does.

C

Every branch have a security guard or no right, no right now, only the larger one I can't justify whether it's just one.

B

Of the things I think you should you should do or a recommendation. A suggestion really is something that I know that our district is done is to work with the city police.

C

B

C

These guys gotta fill out.

B

Reports all the time.

C

They parked in the parking lot yeah.

B

Because that presence alone.

F

B

Or is it happening at the other branches, especially the little remote once because.

F

I'm in a remote area, I.

B

Don't get rid of.

F

My air, but it is remote.

B

I'm gonna do Bravo and I know that I talked to Webb County I'll talk to DPS is that I need you guys to park your vehicle here.

F

B

Wanna hurt public, you would be, you would Public Safety Park.

A

On a school campus do.

B

Your report here you got a park somewhere anyway. Do it here that at least will help say you know.

C

Books, what do they have to study to get promotions? We have them here, we and they come in and there's a special library card, because they're the only.

B

Six branches or seven branches, you.

F

Need to be out.

C

C

Bruni and and they do for a while and I- don't know they continue. But if I read, which I have a.

B

Very important to do, in my opinion, just as a deterrent, as we say, because I next white, like in.

G

My own captain.

B

Monsters to park it in fact.

G

F

Your vehicle right here, I.

B

Want everybody to see that there's a police presence on the campus and that really helps people even get off their cell phones. Just I mean.

E

It's a simple thing, but.

B

It matters so much and and I just I just worry that it's gonna have to one day in our town: I. Don't.

C

You never know.

B

C

Another thing that you asked me to report on was councilman Bill Vegas at 20, I did talk to miss class or she was gonna talk to him I. She asked me big addition to text him and asked him about your play. I have not heard back.

C

Just skiing you're an update as to the status of that.

E

C

D

There's some very.

C

Personal calls from the chair: it's on the Friday packet, it's in the biannual report. At one point, the city secretary did called him and asked him to a point: I protected.

E

Him we also we have given him suggestions. You did yes, I. Think I forget.

C

Now but yeah and I'm sure he is.

C

Somebody can resign ever since he oh.

E

It was yes, and we haven't had one since she presented so.

B

This has been going on for two years: yeah.

E

But before that there was nobody, I guess.

C

But I only want some men like his turn. There was no.

E

C

I came, there was nobody and.

E

I said well, I know a lot of people because I used to work it together. A lot- and you know that's the area and I recommend the several men. Cordura Flores was the one and she's so busy.

E

Elections are November, yes, but but early voting starts.

E

Yeah, are you voting.

F

Yes, the first Tuesday.

B

We also asked for an update on the PSAs for all branches.

C

Yes, I did talk to mr. Yan and I agree with him. He suggested to wait after the.

F

B

F

Speaking of the elections just to be.

B

Clear we remember that was the issue last time. Last time, we're on with elections using the library and.

C

The inside I've already had requests to come, do readings for story hour, so we'll be vigilant.

D

They've requested to come in to reads politicians, readings.

C

From the children can I convey that story, our and.

A

D

I go right now.

A

D

Now these candidates that are running right now recently.

C

Can't see but like I did say no, no.

A

C

We already have our programming, we don't allow.

E

Early, its October 20 salary.

C

A

They know that if they see something.

C

Film somebody coming: they need to come to administration, that by.

B

The outside, of course, is free game. I mean that happens all the time, but on the inside of just it seemed like it would be. The.

D

C

Dorothy are giving preference.

B

To one candidate over another.

D

The bridging ones that don't know, okay.

F

D

C

Other thing we requested with a copy of the by Lawson that is in your target. I, don't know you want to take a chance to to look at it and I know there are some changes that need to be done, for example, that time of need and where they have not been updated. I hope indecent.

C

Since 2012 was the last time that they were updated, the BIOS do call for a bind offs committee.

C

That I mean we can we can change that.

C

I can raise changes to it and present it to you.

D

D

C

Remedy that is probably no longer around, because I I sometimes can't even we present the budget. That is, you know that we're totally perfect. So when we get just right.

D

There's a party: this is a virus with this committee, Europe.

C

You're allowed to make the bylaws for your own committee, okay,.

D

And within this.

D

Standing committees, which is a budget committee, shall assist the library director of preparing the annual budget templates and a copy of each city's committee. Member with.

C

D

If you're missing, I.

C

Thought there is and.

D

B

F

Maybe them pages are miss.

F

D

F

A

Never had a budget committee.

C

We don't like to mention our clutter or where we're.

F

At the last time,.

C

F

C

As we it's been either no growth or.

C

E

Review grant proposals major contracts that.

B

C

E

Yes, second IHS, article 11 and one.

D

In between documents, no no.

E

No one hey each one has an article one two three then page three: has it skipped article 11? Then you go to the other and it's article for age, nine and ten.

C

And put it on the agenda for next four.

E

Nights, fine yeah.

D

Computing like this, no, it is so the other review it again and while we can look at what we have here and would.

C

You like, we can input the correction so there's like the needs and and just send it all like that.

D

E

Anything I, like your suggestion, nothing.

C

To numbering but yeah just.

F

F

Yes, yes, well,.

C

And that's, based on the annual report and I, have a group of libraries are about the same population that we serve and as far as our like teen programming, we're only second to my calendar and has their own teen area. So we're going to see how that does. Circulations were pretty much even as far as the.

F

C

I saw that we are falling behind in your electronic resources, which is why we're going to be concentrating on that, because those numbers are super high. It.

B

Is there because I was seeing if I was programming and I was thinking about this yesterday or this could work in the industry? I guess is you know? Is there something that public libraries do? Let's say that maybe you can look at it in other areas like Boston East closed, because when you, when you.

A

Travel to some.

Of those areas heck the taxicab drivers are talking about astrophysics. You know they have some of the greatest universes and such a small concentration. You.

F

A

B

Everybody's at a certain level, and is that just natural visit that hadn't happened is it's a public library play a role and I'm sure it does. You know, because there's so much money put into these libraries I can New York at one point you know they're, just huge, you know is there something that they do that's a little different because it's you know obviously kind of the story that been about 2015. The keynote address speaker for the University of Texas was a lot of my Venus Tucker. She.

D

Said, oh really, yeah.

B

She's, a married woman and she spoke one of the stories she said when she was up there. She said you know: I got to my freshman English class and I and I saw her reading this at my eye, but like that and she's, oh, my god, can you believe it and the girl next to her said yeah? Can you believe this, and so she was felt a little better because she said the same thing with her was shorted if she says yeah I'm here in all this.

F

B

You see what I'm saying and my point is well. How did that happen where she was at but yet didn't have music. You.

C

C

B

But that's what.

F

I'm saying it's like: is there something? But beyond that, because.

B

Sometimes it's not always the schools, sometimes it could be. You know the public library system, whether they go.

F

C

Inner cities, you do.

B

You see what I'm saying.

F

B

B

Years another affecting.

F

Adult yet we could be doing something right right.

C
